Since the last time I checked this I sunk the nails and borrowed a friends 150lb sander and went nuts on it. My thought was should I screw up I would replace the boards and not be disappointed about that.
Luckily enough for me the paint didn't even gunk up the sand paper and I got through the whole thing using only 3 belts.
What was left I stripped with a chemical and I plan on sanding with a hand held belt sander the tiny areas that are left.
The wood is looking really good and so far the project is only 20 hours and 100 bucks of supplies.
I feel like I got lucky, cant wait to finish and get stain on the thing.
